| Jet Li's character was very good in this movie. I thought the co-stars also complemented him very well. The action was great, and the movie had very tasteful humor from time to time. I would definitely recommend this movie to Kung Fu lovers like myself. |

| To me, this is one of the best Jet Li movies. Or, may as well call it one of the best movies. It has a lot of humor and wisdom in it. However, as someone jokes that dubbing is the eighth sin, the dubbing in this movie, possibly to match the lip movement, has the script modified. The humor was lost, as well as the wisdom. I compared an Asian release with the US release: the script as well as the English subtitle are modified in the US release. I highly recommend this movie to you, except that it may be best to find the Asian release. I also checked that my Asian release has the English subtitle which is very close to what the actors and actresses say in Chinese. Also one thing about the US release is that the song is taken out from the movie. We usually accept a French song or Italian song in a foreign movie. How come we don't accept a Chinese song in a Chinese movie? The original Chinese song is very suited to the events of the movie. My advice remains: the Asian release of this movie probably can give you more enjoyment than the modified one.

| I know it seems as though the reviews are very mixed. Many have said good about it, and many have said bad about it.
In my experience in watching Kung Fu, and practicing it, this is probably the best kung fu movie out there.
The theory and applications of the art of Tai Chi seem pretty solid.
There are not of movies that go into the essence of an art that this film does. Not only does the art seem to conquer all opponents, but it also seems to have a personal spiritual effect also.
The film seems to carry a lot of weight of the importance of the internal arts. While their old style seemed to conquer many bad guys, the new style seemed to conquer ten times as much.
Now, for those in confusion about what Tai Chi is compared to other older styles of Kung Fu, check out B.K. Frantzis book "The Power of Internal Martial Arts". This book is not a let down for those seeking information of the art.
I've practiced Tai Chi for about 6 months, and I seem to have a small understanding of it. But it is enough understand to say that this movie is good.
Thanks,

| I loved this movie.
The fight scenes are simply incredible. they constitute an art-form in itself, brilliantly choreographed, very fast and furious. Although one criticism would be when they stretch the bounds of reality (eg when he kicks some barrels and they all land neatly one on the top of another). The atmosphere in the film is great too, with the costumes and scenery giving you the feeling you are in some long lost exotic pre-medieval world.
The plot is not as bad as some here are making out. It is not too sophisticated, involving at its heart a simple tale of betrayal corruption ambition and revenge between two former friends. But you dont watch the film to be dazzled by intelligent dialogue and intricate plots and twists, they always are a bonus mind you, but in this film they would probably just use up fighting time. Michelle Yeoh shows once again that she can act fairly well as well as fight.
All in all this is an excellent film for fans of (slightly) over the top martial arts films. Jet li's second best in my opinion. |
